In each bi-monthly episode of DiResta (every other Wednesday at 2pm PT), artist and master builder Jimmy DiResta (Dirty Money, Hammered, Against the Grain, Trash for Cash) lets us into his workshop, to look over his shoulder while he builds whatever strikes his fancy.

Most of DiResta's videos are shot in his NYC shop, but in this episode Jimmy heads for the country and picks up a chainsaw to fashion a pair of benches from a listing tree in the woods.

For more info on this video, tools, materials, sketchbook images, and Jimmy's notes on the build, check out this post on MAKE: http://blog.makezine.com/2013/05/31/diresta-split-log-benches/
